Raw vegetarian diet linked with low bone mass
Research also finds that raw food vegetarians have other biological markers indicating their bones, although light in weight, may be healthy.
29/03/05 Vegetarians who don't cook their food have abnormally low bone mass, usually a sign of osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. But a research team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis also found that raw food vegetarians have other biological markers indicating their bones, although light in weight, may be healthy.
The study, published in the March 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, was led by Luigi Fontana, M.D., Ph.D., research instructor in medicine in the Division of Geriatrics and Nutritional Science.
Funding from the National Institutes of Health supported this research.
